HELPFUL PRODUCTS

Hi all--
I wanted to share with you a couple of products that I like & have found helpful, + a recipe for Orange Chicken that uses them.

The first is a brand of brown rice called Tsuru Mai. It is really delicious and has a rather chewy consistency & nutty flavor--not dry like some brown rice. It comes in a small 1# bag & can usually be found @ HyVee on the bottom shelf by the other rice.

The second is Pilgrim's Pride "EatWellStayHealthy" pre-grilled frozen chicken breasts, available in a 1.5# bag @ HyVee in frozen foods, directly across from the frozen fish. They are really convenient for speeding up a healthy dinner (I've used them in soup, pot pie, & stir-fry), & the sodium content is no higher than most fresh boneless chicken breasts.

The third is Turbinado sugar, available at HyVee on the organic aisle. This is the sugar that remains after the impurities in raw sugar have been washed off. It has a slight "molasses" flavor, sort of like brown sugar. I use it anytime I'd use white sugar. I especially love it in oatmeal!

Do you have products that you love that help you cook nutritiously? Click on "comment" at the end of this post, & share them with everyone!
